A Comparison of Pre-operative Comorbidities and Post-operative Outcomes Among Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplicaiton At High and Low Volume Centers
Objective: Peer reviewed data is often published by single centers that are affiliated with teaching institutions with a high volume of cases. As operations grow in popularity, they are performed at a wide variety of institutions with the potential to produce inconsistent results. The purpose of this study is to compare pre-operative comorbidities and post-operative… Continue Reading

A New Synthetic Bioabsorbable Prosthetic and Method of Fixation for Mesh Reinforcement of Crural Closure During Hiatal Hernia Repair
OBJECTIVE: It is well established by Level 1 data that mesh reinforcement of the crural closure for hiatal hernia repair decreases the risk of recurrence of the hernia. Most of the early studies used various synthetic meshes for repair of hiatal hernia and while they showed decreased recurrence rates, the fear of erosion of the… Continue Reading

A Preliminary Study on Preoperative Three-dimensional Simulation Using Mdct for Single Port Access Surgery on Gist
PURPOSERecently, Single Port Access (SPA) surgery becomes to be performed for cholecystectomy or gastrostomy. SPA surgery is performed using a single incision in the patient’s belly button. We try to remove gastric GIST using SPA plus one or two additional ports. However gastric wedge resection for GIST is variable about location or size comparing to… Continue Reading

Barrett\’s Esophagus Treatment Dilemma: Pills Versus Operation: Statistical Analysis and Cost/effectiveness
INTRODUCTION:Controversy over the management of barrett's esophagus has been difficult to resolve due to the low incidence of progression to adenocarcinoma. A prospective study comparing thousands of patients with barretts esophagus randomized either into PPI or antireflux surgery group is costly and no likely to be perfomed. This study examined possible clinical outcomes of the… Continue Reading

Can Dysphagia Be Objectively Characterized Using Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance?
Introduction:The purpose of this study is to determine if the subjective sensation of dysphagia can be objectively characterized using esophageal function testing.Dysphagia is one of the most difficult symptoms to diagnose and to treat unless a patient has achalasia. Esophageal function testing (EFT) now combines standard manometry, which measures pressures in the esophagus, with multichannel… Continue Reading

Clinical Outcomes of Atypical Symptoms Following Laparoscopic Antireflux Surgery
Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can manifest with both typical (heartburn, regurgitation) and atypical symptoms (cough, hoarseness, wheeze). While it is well established that antireflux surgery is effective in relieving typical symptoms, it is currently unclear whether atypical symptoms foreshadow a less satisfactory outcome following laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LARS). The purpose of this study is… Continue Reading

Clinical Significance of Endoscopic Surgery for Thoracic Esophageal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Introduction: The growing evidence has verified the survival benefit of combined treatment of the chemotherapy followed by the surgery for advanced thoracic esophageal cancer. The endoscopic surgery for thoracic esophageal cancer has been shown to facilitate the early resumption of daily activity of the patients in the postoperative course, but is considered technically difficult especially… Continue Reading

Comparison of the Effect of Obesity on Laparoscopy-Assisted Distal Gastrectomy with That on Open Distal Gastrectomy
INTRODUCTION: Whether the effect of obesity is more adverse on laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) than on open distal gastrectomy (ODG) is not clear.METHODS: Patients (LADG: n = 210, ODG: n = 208) who underwent distal gastrectomy were enrolled. Primary regression equations obtained by regression analyses between body mass index (BMI) and operation time and between… Continue Reading

Correlation Between Intraoperative and Postoperative Evaluation of the Gastric Tube Viablity in Esophagectomy
Background/Aim: Esophagectomy is a major operation with high mortality and morbidity, for which anastomotic leakage and necrosis of esophageal substitute are serious and potentially fatal complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability of the gastric tube and esophagogastric anastomosis in esophagectomy. Methods: Of 39 patients who had undergone esophagectomy during the… Continue Reading

Cost Comparison of Laparoscopic V/s Open Gastrectomy in the Treatment of Gastric Cancer
Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is the second most important cause of death by cancer in the world. In the last years, laparoscopy has been applied in the surgical treatment of GC with good results in early gastric cancer. However, differences in costs between laparoscopic and open surgery remain unknown. The aim of our study was… Continue Reading

Distal Gastrectomy with Laparoscopic Assistance for Non-overweight Patients with T1n0 Gastric Cancer
Background and Purpose: We began to perform distal gastrectomy via minilaparotomy with laparoscopic assistance in non-overweight patients with T1N0 gastric cancer as an alternative to the standard laparoscopic approach. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate our initial experiences treating cases by this procedure. Patients and Methods: The subjects were 16 patients with T1N0 gastric… Continue Reading

Does Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio Accept As a Prognostic Factor in the Patients Underwent Lymphadenectomy with Less Than 15 Lymph Nodes for Gastric Cancer?
Background. The necessity of accurate lymph node staging is a vital while evaluating different treatment consequences. This study evaluates the metastatic lymph nodes (pN)and the comprehensive use of ratio of lymph nodes as a prognostic factor in the patients with gastric cancer underwent the surgery. Method. Review of 88 consecutive patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. The… Continue Reading

DS (Disk Suspension) Method: Novel and Safe Technique for the Retraction of the Liver in Laparoscopic Surgery
BACKGROUND: A sufficient operative field and an adequate working space are critical factors that determine the success of laparoscopic surgery. Although some liver lifting methods have been reported, insufficient operative field, liver disfunction, and risk of liver laceration, particularly for obese patients, have been serious problems. We have developed a novel and safe technique that… Continue Reading
